All '80s, all night this Saturday

George Michael's gig in Tampa Bay is around the corner. And for those of you who want to make his Aug. 2 gig at the St. Pete Times Forum into the ultimate 80s night, here's some great news.

Rubix Cubed, the official 80s cover band of Stuck in the 80s, is playing an after-party on Saturday at Tampa's MacDintons (405 S. Howard Ave. in Soho). The band's 80s "veejay" also will be spinning music videos, TV and music clips and 80s commercials all night.

If you didn't catch Rubix Cubed at '80s Night at Tropicana Field this summer, you missed out on a good show. The band covers all the great classics, including "She-Bop," "Video Killed The Radio Star" and "Melt With You." Listen to their music, and get a schedule of their upcoming shows at their MySpace page.

Will George show up and sing along to "Someone to Love?" Only one way to find out.
